What do you think of Israel declaring the country as a "Jewish national state"?

And the retraction of Arabic as its second official language?

I'm personally not a fan of any religion getting involved in political matters, so I don't quite agree with that decision.

I'm not sure how many people there speak both Hebrew and Arabic, so I'd say if the majority does, the decision was unjustified, if it not, I kinda have to agree on it.
I also don't understand the outrage of politicians of Arabic descent calling the new law "racist" considering languages aren't directly and necessarily connected to a person's race/ethnicity (e.g. not all Middle Easterners speak Arabic, not all Eastern Asians speak Chinese, etc.).
